The Gardens of Salem: The Landscape History of a Moravian Town in North Carolina filled with beautiful photographs of the vegetable and flower gardens of Old Salem Museums & Gardens, tells how the early Moravian settlers of the 1760s through the 1850s combined science and a sense of beauty to shape the landscape around them. It also explains one of the earliest and most thorough heritage horticulture programs in the nation, conducted by Old Salem since it's founding in 1950.

Perfect for landscape historians and gardening enthusiasts alike, it was written by former Old Salem horticulturist Darrell Spencer and photographed by nationally-known garden photographer Virginia R. Weiler.
